Hello, I am reasonably new to android development.
Currently I am working on an app, that connects to my wamp server database table.
Table contains simple information and a url to my picture.

My Android app loads the database, but will no open the image.
"Unable to decode stream: java.io.FileNotFoundException: http...... open failed: ..."

Can you help my modify my code so that it would open the image from my list?

My php code is:
[HIGH]<?php

/*
* Following code will list all the products
*/

// array for JSON response
$response = array();


// include db connect class
require_once __DIR__ . '/db_connect.php';

// connecting to db
$db = new DB_CONNECT();

// get all products from products table
$result = mysql_query("SELECT *FROM products") or die(mysql_error());

// check for empty result
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
// looping through all results
// products node
$response["products"] = array();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// temp user array
$product = array();
$product["pid"] = $row["pid"];
$product["name"] = $row["name"];
$product["price"] = $row["price"];
$product["description"] = $row["description"];
$product["image"] = $row["image"];
$product["created_at"] = $row["created_at"];
$product["updated_at"] = $row["updated_at"];



// push single product into final response array
array_push($response["products"], $product);
}
// success
$response["success"] = 1;

// echoing JSON response
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
// no products found
$response["success"] = 0;
$response["message"] = "No products found";

// echo no users JSON
echo json_encode($response);
}
?>[/HIGH]

My java class in adroid that reads the list items:
[HIGH]
public class AllProductsActivity extends ListActivity {

// Progress Dialog
private ProgressDialog pDialog;

// Creating JSON Parser object
JSONParser jParser = new JSONParser();

ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> productsList;

// url to get all products list
private static String url_all_products = "blabla/android_connect/get_all_products.php";

// JSON Node names
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
private static final String TAG_PRODUCTS = "products";
private static final String TAG_PID = "pid";
private static final String TAG_NAME = "name";
private static final String TAG_PRICE = "price";
private static final String TAG_DESCRIPTION = "description";
private static final String TAG_IMAGE = "image";

// products JSONArray
JSONArray products = null;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.all_products);

// Hashmap for ListView
productsList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();

// Loading products in Background Thread
new LoadAllProducts().execute();

// Get listview
ListView lv = getListView();

// on seleting single product
// launching Edit Product Screen
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// getting values from selected ListItem
String pid = ((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.pid)).getText()
.toString();

// Starting new intent
Intent in = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
EditProductActivity.class);
// sending pid to next activity
in.putExtra(TAG_PID, pid);

// starting new activity and expecting some response back
startActivityForResult(in, 100);
}
});

}

// Response from Edit Product Activity
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
// if result code 100
if (resultCode == 100) {
// if result code 100 is received
// means user edited/deleted product
// reload this screen again
Intent intent = getIntent();
finish();
startActivity(intent);
}

}

/**
* Background Async Task to Load all product by making HTTP Request
* */
class LoadAllProducts extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

/**
* Before starting background thread Show Progress Dialog
* */
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(AllProductsActivity.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Loading products. Please wait...");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(false);
pDialog.show();
}

/**
* getting All products from url
* */
protected String doInBackground(String... args) {
// Building Parameters
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
// getting JSON string from URL
JSONObject json = jParser.makeHttpRequest(url_all_products, "GET", params);

// Check your log cat for JSON reponse
Log.d("All Products: ", json.toString());

try {
// Checking for SUCCESS TAG
int success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);

if (success == 1) {
// products found
// Getting Array of Products
products = json.getJSONArray(TAG_PRODUCTS);

// looping through All Products
for (int i = 0; i < products.length(); i++) {
JSONObject c = products.getJSONObject(i);

// Storing each json item in variable
String id = c.getString(TAG_PID);
String name = c.getString(TAG_NAME);
String price = c.getString(TAG_PRICE);
String description = c.getString(TAG_DESCRIPTION);
String image = c.getString(TAG_IMAGE);

// creating new HashMap
HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();

// adding each child node to HashMap key => value
map.put(TAG_PID, id);
map.put(TAG_NAME, name);
map.put(TAG_PRICE, price);
map.put(TAG_DESCRIPTION, description);
map.put(TAG_IMAGE, image);

// adding HashList to ArrayList
productsList.add(map);
}
} else {
// no products found
// Launch Add New product Activity
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
NewProductActivity.class);
// Closing all previous activities
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(i);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

return null;
}

/**
* After completing background task Dismiss the progress dialog
* **/
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog after getting all products
pDialog.dismiss();
// updating UI from Background Thread
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
/**
* Updating parsed JSON data into ListView
* */
ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(
AllProductsActivity.this, productsList,
R.layout.list_item, new String[] { TAG_PID,
TAG_NAME, TAG_PRICE, TAG_DESCRIPTION, TAG_IMAGE},
new int[] { R.id.pid, R.id.name, R.id.price, R.id.description, R.id.image });
// updating listview
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
});

}

}
}[/HIGH]

from the list adapter goes to a simple xml.
I understand that I am getting the error because I put my link as a string and never convert it to a image format, but I don't know hot to fix my list adapter so it would be able to do this.

please help out and all answers are appreciated
